F.B. Meyer addresses the issue of divided worship, illustrating how the nations that settled in Israel acknowledged the God of Israel while simultaneously serving their own idols. He warns against the superficiality of outward religious practices that do not reflect a true fear and reverence for God, urging listeners to examine their hearts for any hidden allegiances to other 'gods.' Meyer emphasizes that one cannot genuinely serve two masters, as true devotion requires an undivided heart. He challenges the congregation to recognize that any divided loyalty ultimately leads to spiritual blindness and ineffectiveness in worship.
